Default RE: drilling plastics

The most important thing with drilling plastic is to have some backing. If you are using a drillpress, place a piece of wood or something under the piece you are drilling. Make sure the piece is clamped to the table, and go easy with the pressure. Most plastic or plexiglass will crack when the drill breaks through the backside. A little coolant, or water would not hurt.
